The purpose of this book is to explain the concept of portfolio, program, and project investment management and to provide the knowledge and the necessary understanding to effectively undertake the process. It begins by explaining how to understand the business problem the organization is trying to resolve with its strategy objectives. It then looks at financial management, particularly how to calculate the whole-of-life program and project capital and operational costs used to measure value for money from the investment. This information is used to inform program and project business case options analysis, investment appraisal of the initiative, and portfolio prioritization through the entire corporate portfolio management process. This book details the investment management process and how it integrates with an adapted corporate portfolio management process and benefits management process that focuses on a clear line of sight - an industry technique that ensures the achievement of strategy objectives through benefits realization. In addition, it explores specific cognitive bias that impacts and unduly influences the investment decision-making process. Finally, it describes several leading-edge techniques to make it easier to implement and sustain the discipline of portfolio, program, and project investment management.

Dieses Buch bietet kompakte und praxisnahe Hilfestellung für eine wirtschaftlich sinnvolle Anwendung des Building Information Modelling (BIM). Dieses Konzept hat sich im Rahmen des digitalen Wandels der Immobilienwirtschaft von einem Trend zu einer etablierten Methode entwickelt, die das Potenzial birgt, unsere Art zu planen, zu bauen und zu betreiben grundlegend zu verbessern. Die wirtschaftliche Bewertung von BIM ist ein entscheidender Baustein. Häufig werden die Potenziale nicht voll ausgeschöpft, weil eine klare, strukturierte Betrachtung der Investition fehlt oder weil die Perspektiven der verschiedenen Beteiligten nicht ausreichend berücksichtigt werden. Hier setzen wir an: Wir gliedern die Investitionsrechnung entlang der Phasen des Gebäudelebenszyklus und beleuchten dabei gezielt die relevanten Kosten und Nutzen für die jeweils wichtigsten Stakeholder – Architekten, Ingenieure, Bauherren, Ausführende und Betreiber. Ziel ist es, Ihnen nicht nur die Methoden an die Hand zu geben, sondern auch durch konkrete Beispiele aufzuzeigen, wie Sie fundierte Entscheidungen über den Einsatz von BIM treffen können. Wir möchten Sie ermutigen, die Wirtschaftlichkeit von BIM genauso ernst zu nehmen wie die technische Implementierung.Der Inhalt<ul><li>Normative Rahmenbedingungen &amp; Standardisierung</li><li>Theoretische Grundlagen: Mikroökonomie, Verhaltenswissenschaft und Organisation</li><li>Grundlagen der Investitionsrechnung und finanzmathematische Modellierung von BIM</li><li>Implementierungsebenen und stakeholderspezifische Rentabilität</li><li>Mathematische Dekonstruktion von Produktivitätseffekten und Fehlallokationen</li><li>Strategische Definition von BIM-Anwendungsfällen: Von der Kompexität zur Methodik</li><li>Strategische Dokumentenentwicklung (AIA &amp; BAP)</li><li>Grenzen der Kalkulierbarkeit: Kommunikation und Controlling als strategische Erfolgsfaktoren</li><li>Ausblick auf die Ökonomie der Autonomie – BIM als Fundament für das KI-Zeitalter</li></ul>Die AutorenJakob Hirn ist CEO der Build Informed GmbH in Innsbruck.Professor Dr. Andreas Schmalfuß ist Inhaber der Professur für Allgemeine Betriebswirtschaftslehre mit den Schwerpunkten Rechnungswesen und Finanzcontrolling an der Hochschule Mittweida.

Rationalising Resulting Trusts

Banking, Money and International Finance

The emergence of financial technologies has unlocked a myriad of possibilities for reshaping governance systems, from the grassroots level of micro-governance to the broader scope of national and transnational governance. This book thoroughly examines the significant impact of cutting-edge financial technology on enhancing worldwide access to financial services. In an era marked by persistent governance challenges, it highlights the transformative potential of AI-driven solutions in fostering more equitable economic participation. Overcoming traditional banking barriers to serve underserved and unbanked communities, the book investigates the fourth wave of fintech innovation depicted by AI, blockchain technologies and decentralized systems. The book begins by presenting the fundamentals of digital innovation, particularly emphasising the transformative role of AI-powered financial tools in improving banking experiences for various global communities. It emphasizes the role of digital payment platforms in bridging the gap between urban and rural populations, as well as the way blockchain technology and smart contracts are setting new benchmarks for transaction security and transparency. Its primary focus is on the strategies for overcoming financial exclusion. Cybersecurity compliance, ethical AI, data governance, and regulatory coordination are considered essential for creating trustworthy digital financial systems. Additionally, it thoroughly examines the alternative credit scoring methods that use non-traditional data to transform lending and presents the opportunities and challenges that will shape the future of finance, with a particular emphasis on central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), sustainable blockchain solutions, and artificial intelligence collaborations. For scholars, researchers and policymakers working to create a more accessible and sustainable financial future, the book offers a thorough overview of the state of inclusive fintech today and a predictive outlook on how technology can promote global economic equity.

Financial Innovation for Inclusive and Equitable Digital Economies

The history of equity takes in questions of philosophy, theology, jurisprudence and legal history. When we speak of 'equity', do we mean Aristotelian epieikeia, civilian aequitas, a theological or juridical conscience, the common law concept of the 'equity of the statute', or merely the rules applied by the Court of Chancery before 1875? The purpose of this volume is to chart the evolution of equity in English legal history from the medieval period to the present day. Whether by investigating the historical foundations of the modern law, the jurisprudential underpinnings of the equitable jurisdiction, or the socio-political context of discrete legal developments, this collection exposes the strands of thought which 'equity' comprises and the mechanisms by which its rules evolved.

Essays on the History of Equity
